FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Public Domain Coffee Coming to ASUCLA

ASUCLA Media Contact: ASUCLA Contact: Trenise Ferreira Cindy Bolton ASUCLA Communications Specialist Director, Food Operations (310) 825-8012 (310) 206-3057 [email protected] [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Public Domain Coffee Coming to ASUCLA Coffee Houses Westwood, Calif. – Jan. 30, 2020 – If you love the smell of coffee in the morning, get ready to take in a new aroma around campus, as ASUCLA introduces Public Domain coffee to some of its coffeehouses next week. The new coffee will be available on campus starting Monday, Feb. 3, at Kerckhoff Coffeehouse, Bruin Buzz, Music Café, Untitled, at Broad Art Center and Northern Lights. On Monday at each location, UCLA students, staff and faculty can get fun giveaways and try free samples. The offerings comprise four new brews, including fair-trade organic and rainforest alliance options. ASUCLA coffee houses will be the first locations outside of a standalone brick-and- mortar coffee shop in Portland, Ore., to offer Public Domain. “We are excited to introduce Public Domain coffee and to provide a new taste to Bruins,” said Cindy Bolton, ASUCLA Director of Food Operations. “After elevating some of our other coffee houses with Peet’s, Starbucks and Intelligentsia offerings, Public Domain presents another opportunity to bring more third-wave coffee to campus.” Public Domain coffee got its start in Portland in 2010 and is known for providing hand-crafted, small-batch coffees from around the globe. It focuses on single-origin coffee, which are beans that are sourced from a singular producer, crop or region in one country. Each coffee-growing region has its own unique flavor profile and lighter roasts allow for the beans’ inherent flavors to shine through. Public Domain strives to encompass the quality, sustainability methods, and story that bring people together through the taste of lighter roast, exquisite coffees. ASUCLA’s single-origin offerings will rotate every two months to highlight a different origin each time. The third-wave coffee movement refers to thinking about, enjoying and appreciating high-quality coffee in the same way we consume other artisanal food, such as wine and cheese. The movement seeks to highlight the unique flavors and characteristics derived from the diversity of bean cultivars, different methods of growth, cultivation, processing and roasting, and variables in beverage preparation. Distinct from the first two waves, the third wave of coffee prioritizes taste quality, unique flavors, and equitable relationships over low prices and standardizations in flavor. Public Domain coffee is provided by Farmer Brothers, which currently provides ASUCLA coffee houses with Wild Owl coffee. Public Domain will replace the Wild Owl brand that was developed specifically for college campuses and was piloted at UCLA in August 2018. About ASUCLA: Associated Students UCLA (ASUCLA) is a not-for-profit association founded in 1919, which delivers vitally important student services and activities throughout the campus of the University of California Los Angeles. ASUCLA boasts the largest college store in the United States, an extensive food service program, and a network of other services and programs that includes student government and student media, which greatly enhances the quality of UCLA’s campus life.

TRADITIONAL RETAILERS by ALISON ROSENBLUM BA
SPECIALTY COFFEE EXPANSION IN TRADITIONAL RETAIL: LESSONS FROM NON- TRADITIONAL RETAILERS by ALISON ROSENBLUM B.A., Hamilton College, 1994 A THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF AGRIBUSINESS Department of Agricultural Economics College of Agriculture KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2015 Approved by: Major Professor Dr. Vincent Amanor-Boadu ABSTRACT Despite at least three waves of transformations in the US coffee retail market, traditional retailers have not altered their merchandizing approaches for decades. This may be due primarily to the fact that there are still margins being made in selling canned coffee, the initial coffee wave in this research. Yet, because of their significant role in the retail segment, traditional retailers cannot be ignored by coffee suppliers. This implies that with each shift in the coffee industry, it is important for the participants to find ways of enabling the traditional retailer to make the necessary transformation – at least with their products – so that they can secure their market share and their continuing success. The research develops a number of case studies of different coffee retailers who are developing innovative processes for merchandizing new coffee formats, such as Keurig K- Cups and Ready to Drink (RTD) products. The research shows that coffee merchandizers can learn from these retailers to develop support programs for their traditional retail customers to leverage their importance in the coffee market to enhance their own sales and profitability. We identify a number of value innovation strategies that may be used to achieve this objective of enhancing performance in traditional coffee merchandizing.

Effects of Transparency Marketing on Firms' Ability to Create and Capture
Effects of Transparency Marketing on Firms’ Ability to Create and Capture Value Sidarth Iyer An honors thesis submitted to the faculty of the Kenan-Flagler Business School at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Chapel Hill 2018 Approved by________________________ Approved by________________________ Approved by________________________ ABSTRACT Sidarth Iyer Effects of Transparency Marketing on Firms’ Ability to Create and Capture Value (Under the direction of Dr. Kristin Wilson) Transparency marketing is the act of including intentionally shared information in the value proposition of a good or service. Business research is incomplete in demonstrating how transparency marketing strengthens firms’ ability to create and capture value. Despite the success of companies like Patagonia and Everlane, transparency marketing is a relatively new phenomenon. Supported by previous academic literature, this research hypothesizes that when firms use transparency marketing strategically, they can indirectly create and capture additional value by influencing consumer cognitive processes. These cognitive mechanisms are trust perceptions of a firm and its products and psychological closeness between consumers and a firm. To validate this hypothesis, this research utilizes a mixed methodology including a quantitative consumer survey experiment and qualitative firm manager interviews. Thus, this research finds evidence from both the receiving and sending perspectives of transparency marketing of an indirect, mediated causal relationship between transparency marketing and willingness to buy. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This research would not have been possible without several key individuals. Thank you. Dr. Kristin Wilson – Thank you for your endless guidance, knowledge, and support. I am forever grateful for your belief in me throughout this project. Dr. Shimul Melwani – Thank you for engaging with my research and providing invaluable expertise during my first foray into the world of consumer behavior.

Data was collected via ethnographic research of specialty coffee baristas. The concepts of “sense work,” “taste frameworks,” and “minimum wage connoisseurship” are introduced for identifying the social components of sensory experience. The specialty coffee industry serves as one examples of a larger “taste economy.” This research demonstrates how sensory experience can fall under management control and aid in the development of a new, niche “consumer market” (Otis 2011), characteristic of Post-Fordism. Additionally, an examination of the boundary work and identity formation within the specialty coffee industry provides new insights into how the body and the senses are implicated in the production and reproduction of class inequality.

Barista Cool: Espresso Fashion Transformed
ZoneModa Journal. Vol.10 n.1S (2020) Essays S.I. Be Cool! Aesthetic Imperatives and Social Practices https://doi.org/10.6092/issn.2611-0563/10567 ISSN 2611-0563 Barista Cool: Espresso Fashion Transformed Wendy Pojmann* Published: May 20, 2020 Abstract In many parts of the world today, being a barista is cool. Young, bearded hipsters, tattooed artists, and pretty but disaffected teenage girls serve up their latte art specialties while dressed in attire wor- thy of fashion blogs. Some coffee brands prefer a distinctive uniform that reflects their marketing strategies while others recommend a look or allow for self-expression. Barista cool is a relatively new phenomenon, however. It appears to have been launched in youth-oriented cultures, such as in the United States and Australia and then re-crafted, like artisan coffee, in trend-setting countries, such as Japan, and re-imagined in countries with long-standing coffee cultures, such as Italy, the birthplace of espresso. Historic Italian espresso producers now encourage branding through uniforms that com- bine personal style and Italian fashion. New espresso bars in Italy moreover reflect the influences of third wave coffee and global fashion trends. This article seeks to analyze how and why espressoand cool fashion have only recently converged through the use of a variety of sources, such as archival re- search, interviews, and participant observation. Keywords: Espresso; Barista; Third Wave Coffee; Coffee Fashion; Made in Italy. Acknowledgements A special thanks to Matthew W. Woodworth who helped with research as part of an Italian Studies Independent Study at Siena College in Albany, New York, spring semester 2019.

On the other hand, study has also shown the positive relationship between growth of GDP per capita and the growth of national consumption of coffee, in another words, with emerging economies like India, China and other South East Asian countries there will be more demand for coffee in the future (Grigg, 2002). However, the global demand and supply for coffee market has never been bigger but also way more stratified than ever. It is because of the parallel developments of specialty coffee market and ethical consumerism in coffee, the two most recent developments of coffee market used to operate in two different segments, the specialty coffee market is smaller in total volumes and puts more emphasis on taste and quality, for ethical consumerism like fair trade movement it focuses more on the commodity market and targeting multinational companies like Starbucks and Nestles.

Micro Mills, Specialty Coffee and Relationships
Micro mills, specialty coffee and relationships Following the supply chain from Costa Rica to Norway Benedicte Gyllensten Master thesis in Culture, Environment and Sustainability Centre for Development and Environment UNIVERSITY OF OSLO June 2017 II © Benedicte Gyllensten June 2017 Micro mills, specialty coffee and relationships. Following the supply chain from Costa Rica to Norway. http://www.duo.uio.no/ Print: Reprosentralen, University of Oslo III Abstract 2.25 billion cups of coffee are consumed every single day, and an increasing amount of this is specialty coffee. The third wave of coffee focuses on quality, taste and variety and consumers demand socially responsible coffee, but despite many initiatives to return more value to producers, most of the world’s coffee producers still struggle to make a living. The majority of the value of a cup of coffee is created and remains in consuming countries. This thesis looks at the phenomenon of micro mills in Costa Rica, which started as a reaction to the coffee crisis in the early 2000s. Since then, around 150 micro mills have popped up around the country, run by small-scale coffee producers. These are aimed at the specialty coffee industry, which demands high-quality coffee and transparency in the supply chain. This thesis is based on interviews and participant observation with coffee producers, exporters, importers, roasters and other members of the coffee industry. Data has been collected in Costa Rica and Norway by using qualitative research methods. Three different case studies that follow the supply chain of coffee all the way from Costa Rica to Norway are used to illustrate what effects micro mills have on the lives of coffee producers and what they mean to other actors in the industry.

Baristas: The Artisan Precariat A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Labour Studies at The University of Waikato by Gemma L Piercy 2018 i ABSTRACT My research on the work identit(ies) of baristas demonstrates that different workplaces, in conjunction with individual biographies, produce different kinds of work identities. Connected to these differences are the actual and perceived levels of skill and/or social status ascribed to workers within the service work triadic relationship (customers, co- workers/managers and workers). The higher the level of skill or social status, the greater the capacity of workers to experience more autonomy in their work and/or access improved working conditions. These findings are informed by my research approach, which incorporates three key methods: key informant interviews; observation/participant observation; life history interviews; all of which is underpinned by the mystory approach and autoethnography.

Third-Wave” Coffeehouses
Machines, People, and Social Interaction in “Third-Wave” Coffeehouses John Manzo1 ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Available Online August 2014 Coffeehouses have a long history as not only spaces of and for Key words: consumption, but also as social settings that facilitate and encourage Coffee; public sociality even in an epoch in which such spaces for sociability are social interaction; alleged to be fading away. This paper comprises a study of coffeehouses Ethno methodology; with analytic perspectives and priorities that are very different from Machine-human interaction. past research on this social form. The empirical focus here is on so- called “third wave” coffeehouses, which view coffee as an artisanal product and which deploy, among other resources, high-end equipment in their beverage creation. This equipment is itself an additional empirical focus, and the ways in which traditional face-to-face sociability and, in particular, interaction between customers and employees is facilitated by those machines is considered here. The theoretical perspective used here is ethno methodological and as such a central concern with describing lived experience at these venues is accomplished by considering photographic evidence of machines and people in situ to see how machines, people, spaces and comestibles interact in these cafes. Introduction: Social Science and the Coffeehouse Humans interact not only with one another, but also with, and conditioned through, the natural and built environment in which sociality takes place, and the objects that those environments comprise. This paper investigates how machines, specifically the high-end espresso machines found in what coffee enthusiasts refer to as “third wave” coffeehouses, form part of the social form of and enable social interaction, especially that between customers and employees to a degree not seen in cafes that do not have the artisanal focus of those under scrutiny here.
